New Orleans at Sacramento

The New Orleans Pelicans thought they were going to be pretty good with DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis as a force in the paint, but struggled. Cousins was lost to an injury in late January, and New Orleans went in the tank. They have somewhat re-branded themselves with a frenetic pace and have since taken off. The Pelicans are on a nine game winning streak. They have basically said you're going to have to outscore us, and nobody has. The Pelicans have averaged a ridiculous 126.1 points per game in the nine wins, and are out-gunning opponents. Sacramento lacks the firepower to hang in this type of game, and won't be able to slow the Pelican's train at this point. Play on New Orleans.
